JAMES PAXTON NEWS

Believes he'll make next start Paxton (knee) believes he'll be able to make his next schedule start next week, Christopher Smith of The Springfield Republican reports.

Impact Paxton told reporters that he also felt the soreness in his knee in his last start against Minnesota. The left-hander has dealt with injuries for the overwhelming majority of his career, and Boston will likely take every precaution before deeming him ready to go in that next outing. For now, the southpaw should be considered day-to-day.

Pulled with knee soreness Paxton was removed from Saturday's game against the White Sox due to right knee soreness, Christopher Smith of The Springfield Republican reports.

Impact The severity of Paxton's injury remains unclear, but losing him would be a huge blow to a Red Sox rotation that has already been plagued with injuries. The team will take a look at Paxton and should provide more information shortly, but fantasy managers should consider him day-to-day for the time being.

Continues comeback campaign Paxton (3-1) earned the win over Minnesota on Monday, allowing three runs on three hits and one walk while striking out seven batters over 6.1 innings.

Impact Paxton breezed through four scoreless frames before a Christian Vazquez homer against him in the fifth netted Minnesota three runs. Paxton bounced back to retire the final five batters he faced and ended up with his third straight quality start and third overall victory. After missing all of last season and posting an ERA well over 6.00 over six starts between 2020 and 2021, the southpaw has revived his career this year, registering a 3.29 ERA, 1.07 WHIP and 51:11 K:BB across 38.1 frames covering seven starts. His next start is tentatively lined up to come on the road against the White Sox.

James Paxton hurls eight K's | 06/12/2023 James Paxton has a strong outing, striking out eight batters and allowing only four hits over six-plus innings of work against the Rockies

JUNE 13, 2023 • MLB.COM

Fans eight in no-decision Paxton allowed one unearned run on four hits and a walk over six innings in Monday's loss to Colorado. He struck out eight and did not factor in the decision.

Impact Aside from an unearned run that scored in the fourth inning, Paxton faced little trouble while working through the Rockies' lineup. He's racked up 25 punchouts while allowing just three earned runs over his last three starts. The veteran southpaw dropped his season ERA to 3.09 with a strong 44:10 K:BB across 32 innings. Paxton's next start is lined up to be a home matchup with the Yankees.

Fans nine in Tuesday's win Paxton (2-1) picked up the win Tuesday, giving up two runs on six hits and two walks over seven innings in a 5-4 victory over the Guardians. He struck out nine.

Impact The veteran southpaw looked like he was in for a short night after needing 28 to get through the first inning, putting Boston in a 2-0 hole, but Paxton got locked in after that and gave his club a chance to come back. The quality start was his second in five outings since coming off the IL, and he'll carry a 3.81 ERA, 1.23 WHIP and impressive 36:9 K:BB through 26 innings into his next start, likely to come at home early next week against the Rockies.

Racks up eight Ks in no-decision Paxton allowed one run on four hits and one walk while striking out eight batters over five innings in a no-decision against Cincinnati on Wednesday.

Impact Paxton looked very good in the outing, notching twice as many punchouts (eight) as hits allowed (four). He racked up an impressive 22 swinging strikes but couldn't go deeper into the contest since he needed 100 pitches to get through five frames. Paxton was knocked around to the tune of five runs over three frames against the Angels his last time out but has otherwise been a nice addition for Boston since coming off the IL on May 10, yielding two or fewer earned runs in his other three starts. Paxton also appears to still have above-average swing-and-miss stuff, as he's tallied 27 strikeouts over 19 innings overall.

Smacked around Paxton (1-1) took the loss Wednesday, allowing five runs on four hits and three walks over 3 innings against the Angels. He struck out five.

Impact Paxton struggled for the first time this season. The lefty has only made three starts after a hamstring injury kept him out until May 12. Paxton allowed more runs Wednesday than he did in the first two starts combined. The 34-year-old's last full season was 2019, where he produced a 3.82 ERA and 186 strikeouts in 150.2 innings. However, he has only made nine starts since, making his reliability a question mark.

Registers first win Paxton (1-0) earned the win Friday, allowing one run on five hits and two walks over six innings in a 6-1 win over the Padres. He struck out five.

Impact This was only Paxton's second start of the year after missing the first few weeks with a strained hamstring. The southpaw's first year as a Red Sock is off to a good start, as he's allowed just three runs over 11 innings. The tenth-year veteran is tentatively slated to face the Angels on the road in his next start.
